Maximum Power DissipationThese ratings refer to the total module power consumption (excluding that of the power supply) allowable within the Magellan control panel. The limits are based on the ability of the unit to dissipate heat over a temperature range of 41° to 104°F (5° to 40°C).
Protective GroundSince the power supply does not present a shock hazard, the Magellan control panel does not have a protective safety earth ground.

X-Y Ports The X-Y control bus is a high speed serial interface by which Harris routers and control panels are interconnected via standard 75Ω video coax cable. The ends of the X-Y bus must be terminated using standard 75Ω video terminators.
The Magellan control panel features one looped-through port (two BNC connectors). If either of the BNCs is used, the other associated X-Y port connection must be terminated with a 75Ω BNC terminator or connected to another device’s X-Y port. You do not need to terminate either of the BNCs if neither is used.
Service (Serial) ConnectionThe Serial connection is used only for service access. It does not provide typical protocol behavior as existed in previous Harris control panels.
Ethernet ConnectionThe Magellan implements an Ethernet connection for device configuration, field upgrades, implementation of the Harris terminal/pass-through protocols; and connection to Harris and/or third party control systems and routers.
The Ethernet connection uses 10/100Base-T wiring. The pin assignments for the Ethernet connection are listed in Table 2-2.
Mounting Panels
Tools You Will NeedThe following tools and equipment are recommended for installation of the Magellan control panel:
One standard 19-in. (48-cm) rack
One medium Phillips screwdriver
Four 10/32 Phillips-head rack mount screws
For programming your Magellan control panel, a computer running a Microsoft®
Silverlight®1 compatible web browser

Mounting RequirementsThe Magellan control panel frame can be mounted in a standard width 19-in. (48.3 cm) rack using four 10/32 Phillips-head mounting screws. The back of the frame does not need to be supported. The frame can be mounted in either the front or the rear of the rack, thereby providing more efficient use of your equipment housing space. The rack ears can be attached to the frame in either direction, thereby allowing you flexible mounting options.
The 1RU panel requires one unit of rack space, that is, 1¾ in. (44 mm) of standard rack space. The depth from the mounting surface is 2½ in. (64 mm).
The 2RU panel requires two units of rack space, that is, 3½ in. (88 mm) of standard rack space. The depth from the mounting surface is 2½ in. (64 mm).
Panel Installation ProcedureMagellan panels are usually installed as part of a larger routing control system.
The maximum allowable distance for each segment of the X-Y coaxial cable run is 2,000 ft (609 m).
There is no limit to the number of control devices added to the X-Y control bus.
To install the Magellan control panel in a control system
1 Mount the control panel in an rack that provides power and cooling facilities. The panel is designed for mounting in a standard equipment rack.
2 Align the control panel so that all four screw holes in the mounting ears match up with those in the rack.
3 Secure the control panel to the rack with the rack screws and washers.
4 Connect the control panel to the appropriate port (Ethernet, X-Y) on the router frame’s rear panel.
5 If the control panel is used in a multiple frame system, connect the additional frames using the appropriate scheme.
6 If the control panel is at the end of the X-Y bus, terminate the other X-Y connector with a coaxial 75Ω termination.
7 Plug a power cord into the DC power supply connector.
8 Connect the power cord to a power source.
1 Silverlight is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
For most installations, the control panel should be connected via the Ethernet port. To use the software configuration tools, an Ethernet connection is necessary. Only use the X-Y port to connect the control panel to a legacy device.

Ethernet Setup
1 Prior to performing the Magellan configuration, you must determine the following information:
The TCP/IP address for the panel
The routing system to connect to
The name and ID to assign to the panel
2 Obtain TCP/IP addresses for the installed Magellan panel. These addresses are a static IP address, a subnet mask, and an optional gateway IP.
How you obtain TCP/IP addresses depends on the type of panel you have (pushbutton only/LCD only/pushbutton with OLED/LCD with OLED). Use one of the following processes to obtain the addresses.
For all panel types, attach the Magellan panel to a PC via a crossover cable, and then enter the default IP address into the Address field of your Internet browser. Note the addresses in the spaces provided below.
For panels with LCD buttons or OLED displays only, press the SHIFT button and then the MENU button on the front panel.
The menu selection buttons appear across the front of the front panel.
Press the SETUP button, and then note the addresses in the spaces provided below.
For all panel types, run a partial discovery in Navigator (see CCS Navigator User Manual, Volume 1: Device Control), and then note the addresses in the spaces provided above.
The Ethernet default settings for the Magellan are as follows: IP: 192.168.100.250 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.100.1

Adding Panels to a Database
Magellan control panels can be added to a routing system via Navigator. In order to monitor the panel, however, it must be associated with a routing system created in Navigator. Actual panel configuration is performed via a web-based software configuration tool that is resident on the physical panel.
Using a Navigator DatabaseThe information below provides you the different methods by which you can add Magellan panels to a Navigator database. It does not go into detail about any of these methods or about other aspects of editing a panel. For more information on editing panels in Navigator, please refer to Volume 6 of the CCS Navigator User Guide. You can download a copy of the most current edition from our website.
To add a Magellan control panel via one of the options described on page 25, you must use Navigator v.4.6.1 or higher.
Linking to the Database
1 Make sure that Navigator v.4.6.1 is installed on your PC.
2 Connect power to the control panel power connector, and then power up the panel.
3 Start up Navigator on the PC. The main window opens.
Adding Panels by PollingThe Poll option is used to query the control system for any programmable devices that may be present in the system. Polling obtains information about the current configuration of each physical device, and compares it to the information found in the database to determine if the database information matches the actual configuration.
Adding Panels by DiscoveringThe Discovery option is a quick way to search the control system for any programmable devices that may be present in the system. Unlike the Polling option, the Discovery option does not obtain information about current configurations; however, it allows you to select discovered devices to add to the device list. You can then use the application software’s editing capabilities to configure the device.
The information in this section is based on the assumption that you have a working knowledge of Navigator and have used its other capabilities. If not, please refer to the CCS Navigator User Guide and familiarize yourself with its functions before you continue the Add process.
When using the Poll or Discover option, ensure that each panel has been assigned a unique device ID and IP address. This can avoid database or panel configuration errors caused by device’s ID or IP conflict.
Chapter 2Installation
26
Copyright © 2010, Harris Corporation
Adding Panels using the Create CommandAn alternative to polling or discovering the system for devices is to create the device definitions via the Create function. (Select Create → Hardware Routing Panel and the type of panel; then, configure its ID and IP via Navigator properties.) The new device is assigned the next available ID, and the default source, destination, and function key mappings.

3 Configuration
Before the control panel can operate as part of your routing system, you must unpack, install, and configure components. This chapter covers those topics specific to panel configuration.
Magellan control panels may be configured using the software configuration tool supplied with the panel. Configuration procedures may be performed either offline (for later import) or online (for a panel that is already installed in a routing setup). Except as noted, configuration procedures are the same when performed offline or online. See Using the Software Configuration Tool for more information.
Some configuration functions for the -LCD and -OLED panels may also be performed directly at the front panel. See Configuring Panels at the Front Panel for more information.
Panels are configured via a web browser to a connected panel over TCP/IP. Once configured, the Magellan control panel retains its programming even if powered down.
For more information about downloading panels in Navigator, see the CCS Navigator User Manual, Volume 6: Routing Components.
The web configuration is optimized for use with monitors having screen resolutions of 1280×1024 pixels; however larger resolutions will allow better visibility of panels with more buttons.

The DBEditor logical database is published to PT-RES.
To build a panel for Group operation mode, follow these steps:
1 Open an Online Configuration session.
2 Access the Configurations page.
3 Select the Panel Buttons tab.
4 Select Group Mode from the Panel Operation Mode drop-down list box.
To use this template as the base configuration, duplicate the default configuration (see Duplicating a Panel Configuration).
Alternatively, create a new configuration as described in Creating a New Panel Configuration, and make sure to select Button Per Source as the panel operation mode.
5 On the panel visual representation, click on the part of the panel you want to modify.
The selected part of the panel is displayed under the expanded button view.
6 You can view the selection differently by clicking on the Button Type and Actual Name radio buttons.
Button Type shows the user the type of button that is assigned to the buttons.
Actual Name shows the current assignments of the buttons based on the logical database.
To select a specific button for editing, click on the desired button. It highlights with a yellow border. To select multiple buttons, hold the left mouse button down and drag over the buttons you want to select. Alternatively, you can use standard Windows selection procedures to select multiple buttons.

Exporting Configurations1 Access the Configurations page.
2 Click the Export icon.
The Save As dialog box opens.
3 Navigate to the location where you want to save the configuration file, and then enter a name for the file in the File name text box.
An XML file is generated.
The XML file’s export configuration name is the same as the original panel configuration name. This configuration name does not change even if you save the export file under a different file name. When an exported configuration is imported, the software looks at the export configuration name, not at the file name. If the existing and the imported files have the same configuration name, the imported file’s configuration elements will overwrite the existing file’s configuration elements.
In the example shown in Figure 3-13, one XML file is named ExportConfig.xml and the other is named TestConfig.xml. The contents of both files, however, show that the EXPORTCFG Name is TestConfig. This is because the TestConfig configuration setup was exported to two separate XML files. If TestConfig resides in the Panel Configurations list and ExportConfig is imported, the parameters in ExportConfig will overwrite the parameters in TestConfig.

Working with CategoriesWith category indexing, both a category (for example, VTR, CAMERA, MONITOR, and so forth) and an index (for example, 20, 2, 36, and so forth) are needed to identify a device.
Category + index selection is a two-step, multikey operation that allows access to an unlimited number of sources and destinations. This method allows many sources to be accessed from a single panel without the need for hundreds of selection buttons. A broadcast center, for example, could contain twenty monitors, each of which could be accessed using the one button labeled “MONITOR” followed by the appropriate index number (20). Similarly, each of twenty cameras could be selected using only one button labeled “CAMERA” followed by the appropriate index number.
To operate in category mode
1 Make sure that the appropriate logical database is configured to allow categories.
2 Make sure that the panel is configured for category mode.
To enable category-index operations, the logical database must be configured to allow categories (see Volume 6: Routing Components of the CCS Navigator User Guide) and the panel must be configured for category mode (see page 43).
By default, the panel operates in Source → Category mode. Press DEST to operate in Destination → Category mode.

5 Frequently Asked Questions
How many Magellan panels are available?There are 10 new panels being released as the beginning of the Magellan family. Three panel styles (RCP-16PB, RCP-48PB, RCP-96PB) have pushbuttons only; two panel styles (RCP-32PB-OLED, RCP-64PB-OLED) have pushbuttons and OLED displays; three panel styles (RCP-16LCD, RCP-32LCD, RCP-64LCD) have pushbuttons and LCD buttons only; and two panel styles (RCP-24LCD-OLED, RCP-48LCD-OLED) have pushbuttons, LCD buttons, and OLED displays.
Do they have the same feature set?All panels use the same software code and logic module. The front panel stuffing determines the functionality.
What are the connection interfaces?All panels are shipped standard with both coax and Ethernet connectivity.
What protocols are supported by the panels?The panels support both legacy Pass Through Protocol on both coax and Ethernet connections, as well as the new LRC protocol available via Ethernet only.
What is the default protocol and what is recommended?The default protocol the panels are set to is the new LRC protocol. This can be used with any system that has a Platinum as the primary server and running PT-RES code 4.0 or later. This is the recommended use as this will provide the most enhanced user experience. The panel can be switched to Pass Through Protocol via configuration for use with non Platinum systems, although the user will not get all the advanced functionality.
Can you use them with other Harris routers?Yes. The standard Harris Pass Through Protocol is available to use on both the ethernet and coax comm ports. This will allow for similar functionality and operations for any legacy Harris router as well as interfacing to any Panacea that does not support ethernet clients.
What are the key feature differences lost when using Pass Through Protocol versus LRC?Basic functionality remains the same. However, the ability to automatically update when there is a database change is lost. In addition, speed may be affected as Pass Through is a significantly slower connection.
How are the panels configured?Each panel has its own built in web server. Configuration is done via a PC.
Do I need a special program to configure the panels?The only requirement is that the configuration PC has Microsoft Silverlight resident.
Chapter 5Frequently Asked Questions
94
Copyright © 2010, Harris Corporation
How can I access the panel’s web server?There are two ways. First, a customer can type the IP address of the panel directly. Second, if a customer has discovered the panels in Navigator, they can access the panels through the Navigator GUI.
Can I copy panel configurations to other panels?Yes, you can copy configurations directly from one panel’s web server by specifying the IP addresses of other panels. You can also copy a panel configuration via the panel’s USB port.
Do Magellan control panels support Unicode names?Yes, Magellan LCD control panels support Unicode names. You must set up the Long Name field in Navigator to input Unicode names, and set the display name property of the panel to Long Name. A compatible Unicode font must also be installed on the panel for the name to be displayed properly.
I do not see group or category as an option for my panel button.To set the panel button type to Group or Category, ensure you are in their respective operation modes.
See Table 3-5 for a list of the operation modes available for each control panel type.
How can I edit generated button labels?
1 Click the Generate Buttons Label icon.
2 Select Microsoft Word as the output file type.
3 Open the generated Word file, and then edit and format the text as desired.
How do I return panel button colors to their default settings?At any button color selection, select the first option in the Button Appearance drop-down list. This option appears as a blank selection.
The control panel displays for my web configuration are not clear.The web configuration is optimized for use with monitors having screen resolutions of 1280×1024 pixels. Larger resolutions will allow better visibility of panels with more buttons.
How can I create favorite source or favorite destination buttons?Favorite source and destination buttons are created by assigning a source or destination button type (in grouping or category mode) to an LCD button.
Configurations can only be copied to like panel types.
